(3) Jesus is crucified between two thieves Matthew 27:35-38; Mark 15:24-28; Luke 23:33-38; John 19:18-24

Verse 37

This is

Cf Mark 15:26; Luke 23:38; John 19:19 These accounts supplement, but do not contradict one another. No one of the Evangelists quotes the entire inscription. All have "The King of the Jews." Luke adds to this the further words, "This is"; Matthew quotes the name, "Jesus"; whilst John gives the additional words "of Nazareth." The narratives combined give the entire inscription: "This is Matthew, Luke Jesus Matthew,John of Nazareth John the King of the Jews" all.

Verse 46

why

Psalms 22:3 gives the answer to this significant and terrible cry:

Verse 50

yielded up

Literally, "dismissed his spirit." The (Greek - ἀθέμιτος). This expression, taken with Mark 15:37; Luke 23:46; John 19:30. differentiates the death of Christ from all other physical death. He died by his own volition when He could say of His redemptive work, "It is finished." "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself" John 10:18.

Verse 51

veil

The veil which was rent was the veil which divided the holy place into which the priests entered from the holy of holies into which only the high priest might enter on the day of atonement, (See Scofield "Exodus 26:31") Leviticus 16:1-30 The rending of that veil, which was a type of the human body of Christ Hebrews 10:20 signified that a "new and living way" was opened for all believers into the very presence of God with no other sacrifice or priesthood save Christ's. (cf); Hebrews 9:1-8; Hebrews 10:19-22.

Verse 52

graves

That these bodies returned to their graves is not said and may not be inferred. The wave-sheaf Leviticus 23:10-12 typifies the resurrection of Christ, but a sheaf implies plurality. It was a single "corn of wheat" that fell into the ground in the crucifixion and entombment of Christ John 12:24, it was a sheaf which came forth in resurrection. The inference is that these saints, with the spirits of "just men made perfect" Hebrews 12:23 from Paradise, went with Jesus Ephesians 4:8-10 into heaven.

Verse 56

James

Son of Alphaeus. (See Scofield "Matthew 4:21").

Verse 61

other Mary

Supposed to be Mary the mother of James and Joses.

Verse 63

After three days

See, Matthew 16:21; Matthew 17:23; Matthew 20:19; Matthew 26:61; Mark 8:31; Mark 10:34; Luke 9:22; Luke 18:33; Luke 24:6; Luke 24:7; John 2:19
